Lost our beloved cat Tobey today, completely unexpected. Devastated.

I noticed today he didn't want to eat. Went to pet him and there was some drool on his chest. He got up and walked and was toppling over. I called the vet to make an appointment. He crawled under the couch and started howling and was panting and looked terrible. Called my husband who works down the street and he came right home, we rushed him to the emergency vet down the street, like 5 mins away. By the time we got there he passed away on the table. It all happened within an hour... We are heartbroken. I've had him and his 2 siblings since the day they were born, he was only 7 and never had a sick day in his life. Total snuggle bug. Our other cat, Emma's best friend. He was strictly indoors, I do not use any chemical cleaners, nothing poisonous laying around etc. Vet said he did not feel any blockages. I am numb and can't stop crying, neither can my husband. Such a sad day...things will not be the same without him. I will miss him terribly..

RIP Tobey..Mommy and Daddy love you so much and will miss you something awful

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."Tobey- I miss you terribly my sweet boy. We will be together again

Tobey was absolutely gorgeous. I can tell that you are so heart broken. I lost my first cat that I owned as an adult when I was 22 and people who didn't have pets just didn't understand my grief. I am so glad that this forum exists not just for our dogs but for everyone's other pets too. I'm so sorry for your loss Erin.
